The Catastrophe Collector

When disaster strikes, Percy is there. Even if he doesn't want to be.    Whether it's a runaway carriage barreling down the street or a villainous plot against the crown, Percy will stumble headfirst into the fray.   But he's not a hero.   He's not a vigilante.   He's not even looking for fame or fortune.   In truth, Percy just wants to lead a normal life–low-key, boring, and predictable. So when a mysterious hag appears with a (fake) luck talisman, Percy jumps at the chance for a bit of normalcy. But as strange coincidences start to converge around him, he finds himself in the middle of all sorts of misadventures.   From inadvertently inserting himself into the middle of a criminal operation to becoming a suspected vigilante, Percy must use all his wit and luck to flail his way to saving the day. The Catastrophe Collector is a spinoff story from A Practical Guide to Sorcery, set in the same world and with cameos from some of the characters from that series. It starts on the same day that A Practical Guide to Sorcery does, right about the time that Siobhan makes her escape from the University in the main series. What to expect: —Lighthearted comedy —Misunderstandings —Teenager MC with a kind heart —Gaslamp hard fantasy setting, but the MC is not a thaumaturge
